    Are you stating that commemoratives alone or ALL coins minted between 1892 & 1954 are not in demand? I find it amusing in all that I read (which is quite a lot) dealers swear they will pay well over dealer bid for any of these coins because they can’t find them; the dealers around here aren’t interested in anything a customer has unless it’s gold or enough silver to require a Brinks truck to deliver-at any price!
